Danish the Railroad stoves.

For the last forty years, since railroads
have been equipped with heavy cars and
run at high rates Of speed, scarcely year
has passed without the loss of life from burn
ing car wrecks. The method of heating cars
now is substantially the same asst was forty
years ago. Each car has a stove, and the
only improvement yet made is better system
of securing them more firmly and putting
them in n sort of metal casing. But the be-
ginning of the present year has shown again,
and with horrible emphasis, that the precau-
tons against the burning Of wrecked cars
are totally inadequate, and that the present
system of heating should be superseded By
something radically different
The method employed upon the elevated
railroads in this town shows that train Of
cars can be perfectly heated without the pos
sibilty Of fire in case of accident. That
method consists in a pipe furnished with
steam from the locomotive. and it serves TIL
whole train each car being heated equally
from end to end. 1t is very simple plan,
and it should be adopted upon all railroads.
There would be another very great adj
vantage in the use of this system. As it is
now the brakeman tends the stove, and as
he has other duties, he piles on all the coal
the stove viii hold and lets it go. The usual
result is that when there is any fire at oil it
is a roarer enough to roast anything as far
away as the sixth row Of seats and TO give
all the passengerS headache But if the en-
gineer controlled the heating he would be
able TO regulate it with more constant attcn-
ton and more disinterested judgment BY
next year there should not be a single stove
in use in passenger train in this Who'll"
country, and if the present engines are not
big enough to supply the additional steam
required bigger ones should be put in their

BASE BALL.
Saturdays Game with the Pittsburxs-
Notes from the hall Field.

The game or saturday between the Washington
and the Pittsburg base ball teams was valuable in
more ways than one. First, 1t helped our club I'D
umpire should be given sufficient power and au-
thOrty 10 put an end 70 such disgraceful scenes as
that which characterized the playing OF the tenth
inning At the end OF the ninth with the score
standing to I, the spectators were unanimous In
the opinion that the game had been as interest
ing and exciting as any played ON the grounds
this year. But as soon as Mccormick had
taken his position In the box In the tenth, 1t was
plain that the Allegheny men intended to adopt
diatory tactics, In order TO carry inning into
darkness, thus having the game called back TO the
point OF tie. This was continued until our men
had piled up four runs, and the side was
finally retired The audience manifested its
dis1poroval OF these actions by greeting every
"baOy" play with storm OF Kisses and
for a time u riot seemed imminent BY this time
whitney Was afraid TO throw as be did earlier In
catcher, and IL consequence the Smoky City lads
earned two runs and filled the bases before the
side was retired on a long, hard fly to left field.
which Shocn captured after hard run This
catch, undoubtedly, won the game for the home
team. The Washington men batted the ball
making three hits and the others showing up
nearly as well. In fielding the exhibition was an
improvement over that OF the other games with
the P1ttSburg team. The score was Washington,
